Running Kithcor at night.

Spire camping in south Karana.

Killing the commander in Blackburrow solo at lvl 17.

I was on the Rathe a rot and not ffa server and a couple of people ganked Sev and all hell broke loose on the message board.

Tower of Frozen Shadow, on of the best designed zones in any MMO ever.

72 man raids, Vox and Nagy. Why they are still needed for epics is stupid with the level cap.

And Rampaging Hill Giants and such made the world "dangerous," without being an unnecessary death trap.

The feeling of danger really elevated the game.

My only experience with everquest was when I was in compusa buying a video card and this 40 year old creep asked me if I was buying it for everquest. I started laughing and walked away

It makes me very sad when I read this thread. I miss the magic of EQ back in 1999-2001. The Vex Thal key quest caused major burnout among our guild who had been playing together since the start.

I played on Brell so here are some specific memories from our server.

FU Sanornik

Da Skurge

Verant Has Defeated you social life in a duel to the death. It was an actual duel message displayed several times on our server before they removed the global duel messages.

My guild Watchers, would portal bomb Woushi in Wakening lands. It was a great way to kill that weak dragon.

Our guild along with Silent Redemption had almost every server first.

We had most of the Best of the Best Tournament winners

Brell was a very friendly server with a Rotation that worked out really well.

I remember camping for my Hammerhead helmet with my best friends and that shark spawing at 6am and us killing him after being up all night camping him.



I could go on but this is making me miss it even more.

Sitting in zones foraging for 12 hours for an epic piece

Royals camp in solb

Frenzy camp in lguk

Camping that dude in highpass for the Testament of Vaneer quest

Finally killing Faydedar to finish Druid epic

The many trains of Karnors

Quad kiting tables for ridiculous exp in PoFire

Killing Fennin Ro on our first try

Killing AHR at 5am with 18 people after being in Vex Thal for nearly 12 hours

The epicness of raiding NToV

PoP bosses: namely RZtW, Coirnav, and some PoT bosses

Soloing a hill giant for the first time

Killing Grimfeather in NK for the first time after he'd killed me at least 15 times leveling in that damn zone

Falling down the well in Befallen as a noob and having to beg for help to get my poor little body

Falling off the ship from Qeynos to Kerrans Island and getting mangled by a shark scared the piss out of me the first time.

So many feels..
